TetraForce-Cut – nozzle cylinder – AH6235
IMPROVE TOOL LIFE
In parting-off operations for SUJ2 nozzle cylinders on a Swiss lathe, the previous tool struggled with edge chipping and unstable cutting position, leading to inconsistent tool life and surface quality.
By adopting Tungaloy’s TetraForce-Cut with grade AH6235, known for its robust clamping structure and stable cutting performance, the machining process achieved significantly improved reliability without tool position deviation.
As a result, the number of parts processed per cutting edge increased from 3,000 to 4,000, delivering a tool life improvement of over 30%.
